Urban Garden

This piece was inspired by the Urban Gardens of Lancashire, England. The heavily textured surface highlights the blocked in houses and brickwork with splashes of colour from the greenery and common wildflowers like the poppy , dandelions and buttercups growing between the cracks of cobbled streets and pavements.
High quality acrylic painted on stretched canvas with spray paint details and splatters. Thick layers of acrylic create line details and the textured surface just wants to be touched. Bold drips and splatters of acrylic also create a transition through colours, connecting the piece.

Sealed with a satin varnish to give a semi gloss finish.
Framed in a Tasmanian oak painted in a rich Australian olive green to compliment the colours.
This artwork is signed, named and dated on the back of the canvas and comes with an artwork pack with a certificate of authenticity.
